kerpingtack: corgis on the beach where the corgis are free (Default)

Some bitch this morning left the water on while she carefully massaged every particle of her stupid soap into every pore of her stupid face. RARRRGGHHHH.

Fact: the sinks on my floor are arranged onto counters; they aren't free-standing basins.
Problem: PEOPLE ARE DISGUSTING. How are the counters wet ALL THE TIME? WHAT DO PEOPLE DO TO IT? What are people putting on it to make it so wet? Disgusting: hair in the sink. Most disgusting: hair floating in puddles on the wet ALL THE TIME counters.

Fact: you should not be allowed to shower if you cannot TURN OFF THE WATER. SO MUCH DRIPPING, ALL THE TIME. EVERYTHING DISGUSTING ALL THE TIME.

I have to get back into my note-taking groove. Things were moving fast this morning in lecture! I feel a bit of a fool now because during Thursday's lecture, the prof was like "Logic is one of those subjects where a lot of people will find easy as pie and a lot of people will struggle enormously wif" and I was like PAH! I am in the first category of people, as I like pie and can do those logic puzzles within like... three days. That's ~talent~. But as it turns out I think I might be in the second category! I was just realizing I should be going "wait... what?" as everyone else was nodding like bobbleheads. Genius bobbleheads. Suzie is taller than Jane but shorter than the child wearing the brown shirt. The boy living in the red house is neither the oldest nor the youngest!!!!

I read this sort of upsetting article in the Daily Bruin (which, BTW, is okay what? kind of newspaper is that? are they serious about some of those articles?) about this 85-year old man who had been found to be a former Nazi guard. (It's this story.) He's been living in the US since 1955 with his wife and federal authorities have begun deportation proceedings. On the one hand, um, Nazis. And principles, and symbols, and that deep scar on humanity. But on the other... he's really old y'all, it seems a little much somehow. I guess, since they're not pressing criminal charges, just deporting him, it makes sadsense. The article was sympathetic to him too, and threw in random fax like how he's hard of hearing and has heart problems and has to use a walker. I will ruminate upon this longarr.

I was at one of the main student hubs, waiting for the person selling the Women's Studies textbook, and thus got the joy of hearing a local/student band (?) play. They were REALLY loud and might as well been Taking Back Sunday, they sounded exaaaactly like them, except with a less nasal singer. They were pretty amusing though. (I couldn't tell who was talking when, they all sounded the same pretty much. Whatevs.)

Guy 1: We're playing this for the blood drive... they were nice enough to have us, um...
Guy Who I Suspect Was the Singer: Yeah, so go donate blood! Rock out with your blood out!!
(That would've been heee enough, but not much later!)
Guy Who Enjoys Cramming His Foot Inside His Mouf and May or May Not Have Been Suspected Singer: At least we're getting paid for this... it's not like we necessarily want to be here...
Diplomatic Guy: *quietly* Uh, yeah we do.

Singer (right after finishing a song): I liked that part in the first chorus when everbody came in and we sounded like Britney Spears... except not so *unintelligble noise*. That was awesome...
*other members of the band, all at once*
Guy 1: I wasn't singing...
Guy 2: No.
Guy 3: What the hell are you talking about?!

Singer: So, we are no longer the Emo Vaginas... we're back to being the [whatever the band name is, it had the word "Halo" in it I think]. Unless you don't like us. Then we're... Fall Out Boy.
Guy 1: We could be Fall Out Boy.
Singer: Yeah, I could be Fall Out Boy... *disdainfully* If I gained, like, 150 pounds.

Guy 1: If you don't think we suck that bad, come pick up a CD. It's free!
Guy 2: Yeah, and it's pretty. So even if you think we do suck, you can at least have a cool coaster.
Guy 1: Or a frisbee!

I have to admit, they had won me over by this point. They weren't playing to many people and they weren't that brain-gougingly terrible, considering who they sounded like. They weren't inept with their instruments at least. I thought about picking up a CD but. Okay I know I just said that they weren't so bad, but for real, they were giving me a monstrous headache and I couldn't freaking take it anymore, I HAD TO LEAVE THAT AREA ENTIRELY. I was late meeting my textbook person but it was worth saving my brains.

Scene: A little over an hour ago, waiting 4000000 hours for my sammich to be made at Bruin Cafe.
Me: *sucking vacantly at my drink, delirious from hunger and fatigue* OH GINGER ALE!!! You make me feel ALIVE. I love you soooooo much ginger ale, you are always sooooo gooooooood.
Seriously, I thought about how good ginger ale was for a solid minute. I was spacing out so hard. In fact I was l     i     k      e                      t                           h                         i                              s                            ~

kerpingtack: sarah with a fine moustache (sarah thinks you look ridiculous)

MORE MUSIC SPAM! I got some new songs I am quitely in love with, and I think my YSI trial is going to run out soon. IF ANYONE HAS REQUESTS, SPEAK NOW. SERIOUSLY, if you are interested in something, I will at least try to hook you up. I am so bored all the time.

Dolly Parton - Here You Come Again
Dolly Parton has one of the cutest voices ever. It's so scratchy and distinctive and I <3 her. "Lookin' better than a bo-dy, has, a right to."

Jens Lekman - A Postcard to Nina
The first verse makes you think "sigh stupid twee lyricfest from Jens Lekman", only to make you feel pretty darn foolish when he totally kicks your ass and proves you wrong by the chorus. LOL it's like a romantic comedy plot in four minutes. And you can hear his accent here at times, which I like a lots. "Oh! God! What have I done!"

The Apples in Stereo - 7 Stars
I thought I really liked AiS whole-heartedly but that only applies to the latest CD I think. My standards as of now is to only name a band as one of my favorites if I like the majority of their discography. This theoretically puts newer bands at an advantage, but I feel that with 10000000 new bands coming out of the woodwork thanks to the innernets and such, and with most of these bands sucking ass hard, what to the ever, my system totally works. Also! AiS needs to lay off the Mr. Blue Sky voice distorter effect thingie a little. "Seven stars, in the sky, in the sky."

The Chemical Brothers - The Pills Won't Help You Now
I really really love this song. It sort of sneaks up on you, but... a word that doesn't seem as deceptive or abrupt as "sneaks." It breaks over you like a wave. It makes me feel pieceful and calm in my hart. Hey guys, am I like officially counted as an electro fan? Is this what I should answer when people are all HAY O U LIEK MYUSIC WOT KIND OF MUSIC U LISSEN TO?!11 Oh man I looked up the lyrics just now and I got them pretty rong. "You're digging your hee,ee,ls."

Ambulance LTD - Primitive (The Way I Treat You)
Cheerful awesome creepy. "Relax! Don't think about it, the way, I treat you."

Diana Ross and the Supremes - You Can't Hurry Love
YAY!! :DDDD "No, you just have to wait!"

Dolly Parton - Coat of Many Colors
New Radicals - You Get What You Give

* :D *

Dolly Parton - Jolene
The Lovin' Spoonful - Summer in the City
Final Fantasy - Arctic Circle

Let me just say that I fell embarrassingly in love with Owen Pallett aka Final Fantasy when I saw these videos. It was 3 AM and I was of weak constitution. I'm trying to word this right. Even though I do really like some of his music and I think he's one talented snaggletooth, I don't <333 him or his music really. It's - it's just that it's so pretty. And he sounded so lovely in the videos, just his voice and his violin. PRETTY.

*DIES OF FATIGUE*
